Monday Morning Memo

Goals_FrankSentThis_Mirth_LOGO_780

This is going to be a new thing each week but I need you to send stuff in for it.
Email Daniel@WizardAcademy.org and he’ll forward it to me.  If it’s awesome, I’ll use it.
Be sure to include your whole name. I like to give credit where credit is due. – Indiana Beagle

BeagleKingThumbGOALS:

This is where I’ll fling a star into the sky each week
that seems – to me – to be worth following.
Here is our shining star for this week:

 

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down
by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

– Kent M. Keith (1968) posted by Mother Teresa
on the wall of Shishu Bhavan, her children’s home in Calcutta.

BeagleCowboy_ThumbFRANK SENT THIS:

This is where we’ll post cool things you send in via Daniel@WizardAcademy.org
Got something interesting or beautiful? It can be a thought, a photo, a story, a video… whatever.

Beagle_Beanie_ThumbMIRTH:

This is where we’ll post funny stories, funny photos, funny videos. Have any?
Send them to Daniel@WizardAcademy.org and put MIRTH in the subject line.
He’ll bring’em to me. – Aroo, Indy

“Mike Hardware was the kind of private eye who didn’t know the meaning of the word ‘fear’; a man who could laugh in the face of danger and spit in the eye of death – in short, a moron with suicidal tendencies.”

– Opening line from a Bad Novel Writing contest

Random Quote:

“DAN: Why would you tell the story that way?

ZOE: I tell it to myself both ways. Honest to god, I don’t know which one is the truth.

DAN: I don’t think what happened was your fault. You can’t control what you feel. You’re not the villain here.

ZOE: I hope that’s true. I think that’s true. But here’s one thing I do know; no one ever sees themselves as playing that role. Right? But there they are. There’s a villain in every story. And maybe that’s why [pause]  maybe the only one who can play that role is the one who can’t see it happening.

WAITER: Can I get you a wine list?

DAN: Yeah.

ZOE: Yeah.”

- "The Old Man," season 1, episode 2. Jeff Bridges is the old man, Dan Chase. Amy Brenneman as Zoe McDonald, his landlady.
